I also request that my interprets mouth many of the phrases and technical terms - they do a LOT of work !! I adore the interpreters that work with me and my class!!!
I should mention that I almost never have to do those horrendous 2-hr jobs anymore. That was a really tough time. Trading off every 20-30 mins is standard, these were special cases.
